It's ready but all the multiplexers I have tried for some reason only remux the audio and not the video. If anybody has a multiplexer to suggest I'll give it a shot but frankly I don't think anybody wants to download a 200 megabyte file for this little clip.

It was like "Ronal Reagan was a great man and a great President. He managed to destroy evil empire without actually invading it". The last part of the gig was covered with the music and frantic handwaving by Leno when he saw the public is not responding. Music was a signal for those Pavlov cows in the audience: applause and laughter.

yeah it was really quick....

and the show moved on as if nothing really happened....

it wasn't even really silent...it was just "groaan" and a little "heh..heh" and some claps and a split second later jay waves his hand over his head going "wooo"

that whole bit lasted about 3-4 seconds or so? (including the joke)...

at least i got to see jlh ...wooo what a girl...very pretty

Yeah, absolute SILENCE.

It was something to the effect:

[High pitched Leno voice] I know all of you heard that President Reagan died over the weekend. But you know, Reagan and Bush were sorta alike. Both Bush and Reagan had to come to terms with their foes...but Reagan didn't invade his opposers. [/High pitched Leno voice]

Disagree with his politics all you want. But calling him a puppet shows very clearly what a complete and utter moron you truly are. Bad enough that you start Reagan bashing in a NON P&N topic right after his death. But even worse that you do it when you have absolutely no idea wtf you are talking about. Go hide under your P&N rock you fvcking piece of shiat troll.

Sigh...it really makes me sad how unintelligent people make themselves appear. I feel embarrassed for you, I really do.

Gee, I'm really hurt.:roll:

Again, you do nothing to make yourself appear like a halfway intelligent human being.. It's not even that I disagreed with your OP, I agree that bringing politics into this discussion is inappropriate. But lord, do you have to sound like a 12 year old who just discovered profanity to make your point? This is the garbage that (in my opinion) degrades these forums and internet communication in general.

Stop being such an elitist.

It was like the other day when my grandmother and I walked into a grocery store and had to listen to a bunch of junior high kids speak the way Shanti did earlier. It's really embarrassing for those who have to listen to it.

EDIT: But anyway, as others are asking us to do, let's just quit arguing here.

Speaking of intelligence, your math skills leave much to be desired. A 70 word post with two "naughty" words in it is not "every 3rd word."

I personally don't care if you find it offensive or somehow think that you are morally superior or more intelligent because you don't swear. I use those words to express a level of anger and disgust that goes beyond what can easily be expressed in writing on an internet forum. I wasn't trying to start a P&N debate. I was trying to tell that subhuman piece of filth to take his P&N crap to P&N where it belongs.

It's not that I don't swear, ever. It's that you just sound like a moron. "You dont know what the fvck you're talking about, go hide under your rock you fvcking piece of sh!t troll." Give me a break. Again, I even agreed with your post, but try not to sound so stupid and childish when you make your points. You'll go farther in life.

Yeah, because it creates hype and people talking about him. Kind of gets his name out more. Cheap marketing if you will...

Awwww, thanks for caring, but I'm doing just fine.

You are a college student studying music and giving me advice on how to go far in life. That's funny.

Back on topic, you can blame the writers, but the bottom line is that Leno must have read the script and he is an idiot if he thought a joke that mentioned Reagan would be well received.

And dumb as rocks, apparently! That's the first interview I've ever seen of her. She's annoying as hell! :shocked:

That's hilarious. You piss down my throat, suggesting my ignorance, for pointing out an observation as to why I believe there is so much hooplah regarding Reagan's death, and then proceed to provide a "well-reasoned" argument based on profanity and personal attack. You don't do much service to yourself and to your beloved Reagan. Are all his supporters this unrestrained and inarticulate?

See, to put it in your language, I just "wiped the floor with your ass", but didn't have to resort to name calling to do so. Chew on that, and I'll give you "lesson two: argument through fact persuasion".

By the way. Are you in highschool?
